Deep inside a Texas mountain, a vast mechanical clock urges humanity to measure time on the scale of civilisation.
Nathan Ladwig has got the ESP32 decoding SPDIF quite effectively, using an onboard peripheral outside its traditional remit. The project allows an ESP32 to work as a USB audio device or take an S/PDIF signal as input, and then transmitting that audio stream over RTP.
Aircraft radar display with retro styling. Visualises real-time aircraft positions and metadata from a local tar1090 server, with a retro interface.

The Explorer HAT is a fantastic way to get started with physical computing and add-on boards for your Raspberry Pi. It provides a standardised way to connect a wide range of components, making it easy to build interactive projects.
A Raspberry Pi project that displays the city and country where it is currently 5:00 p.m., updating every 15 minutes. It uses accurate timezone data and is a fun, lightweight build with potential for educational and practical applications.
Adafruit showcases the Raspberry Pi cam combined with the MLX90640 IR camera to create a budget fusion thermal camera. Featuring solderless components, this build is also beginner-friendly.
* **Enigma Touch:** Jürgen Müller’s Enigma replica is now available for order, featuring a unique all-electronic design and a focus on replicating the original user experience. A Google Group has been created for discussion and related activities.
* **PiDP-1:** The PiDP-1 kit is nearing completion and expected to ship at the end of July, with both console and rack-mounted versions available. A Google Group has been launched for the PiDP-1 community.
* **ARPANET Reconstruction:** Lars Brinkhoff has made significant progress in reconstructing the ARPANET, allowing for connections between emulated PDP-10s and modern Linux machines. The project seeks volunteers to expand the network.
* **LGP-30:** Work is underway on a replica of the LGP-30, with a focus on creating an authentic 1950s metal case.
* **PiDP-10 & Software:** Updates on software for the PiDP-8/11, and a note about running the original Micro-Soft BASIC on a PiDP-10.
